Veteran sports media personality Christopher "Mad Dog" Russo signs a new four-year contract to keep his brand of sports talk radio on SiriusXM. Russo will continue to host his daily all-sports show, "Mad Dog Unleashed," each weekday from 3-6pm on the channel that Russo launched on SiriusXM in 2008 -- Mad Dog Sports Radio (channel 82). Additionally, "Mad Dog Unleashed" is among the SiriusXM shows that are available to Pandora listeners as podcasts.

"Oh baby! Four more years, and I couldn't be happier," said Russo. "I've said it before and I'll say it again. There's no place, no place, better than SiriusXM to do the kind of show I want to do, with the freedom to talk about the topics that I want to cover and the listeners want to talk about. Now we'll be reaching more fans than ever on SiriusXM and Pandora."

"Chris is a singular talent at the top of his game and we are thrilled and very proud to tell our subscribers that SiriusXM will be Chris' radio home for years to come," added SiriusXM's President and Chief Content Officer Scott Greenstein. "He'll continue to headline Mad Dog Sports Radio on SiriusXM, which is the best all-sports talk radio channel in the country, and now with a sampling of his show available as a podcast on Pandora, more people than ever get access to the legendary Mad Dog in action."

Last month, Adam Schein, who has hosted the daily show, "Schein on Sports" on Mad Dog Sports Radio since 2013, also signed a four-year agreement to remain with SiriusXM.
